Barill Pasta – stalking commercials

I’ve always found the Barilla commercials to be hilarious because to me they come off much differently than intended. To me they usually come off creepy and stalkerish. There’s always some woman who gets seen by a man and he either follows her or surprises her and it’s supposed to be romantic but…

We’re left with the stalker standing right over the surprised woman in this one.

I don’t get the following one at all – is this guy actually the girls father?
